Can you tell me how easy it is to catch the airtran from long term parking to the terminals? I have had 4 total knee replacements and walking can be a problem if it is a far walk to the station to get the airtrain.

I'll arrive on 19th May and i need to get Port Auth by metro. How could i get it from terminal 4?

Our exchange student is flying solo into JFK tomorrow. He arrives in terminal 3 and needs to meet his parents in terminal 1. It looks like terminal one will be the first stop after he gets on the airtrain, is that correct? Thanks!

We arrive friday 4pm. Our destination is grand central station.
Is it quicker by taxi or bij train via Jamaica and Penn station?

We are 4 persons that need to go from JFK to East Village. Should we take the train to Jamaica station and then? Will a taxi ride cost about the same as the train tickets for 4 persons? Thanks
